Okay, here is the scoop...
We have to read a book in English class for a powerpoint project. My teacher said it has to be ficition. And I ask her if In Cold Blood is okay to use because it is written like a ficition book, the only difference being it actually happened. She said no. I ask "Why? Is it really going to make a difference on the project?" She fails to give me an answer the first time I ask. She just ignored me, after I had got her attention and asked. The second time she say "Capote spent a lot of time researching it" and I say "Yeah, and how does it make a difference" And she says "I'm not gonna discuss it now, I asked for fiction." I say "Can I do Breakfast at Tiffany's?" and she says "No that was a movie" (a 'requirement' than she left out to me) I hadn't seen the movie and she still refused.
She hates me, I swear. At the smallest things she says I am disrespectful and says go outside. Ex. students were making noises (not me though), she tells us to quiet down and I say don't wory we are getting our work done (which we were) and she gets all angry at me. I can't stand her.
Anyway I need a book. Recommendations? Preferably short (No more that 150 pages) and suitable for 9th grade. Thanks,
